I guess my question is, why would you want to do this anyway? I have been using -mwindows, which I thought was the recommended linker switch for compiling a GUI app. I don't claim to know anything about ld, except that it works for all the examples I have tried. I have been unable to find any documentation about the linker switch in question (-lkernel32) except that it appears to be mentioned in earlier versions of the distribution. If someone wants to explain the in's and outs of these various (win32 specific) switches and how they are supposed to work, I'm all ears. Do doubt this information would be of general interest.
